Bowel Surgery Claims

If you've been a victim of Clinical Negligence during bowel surgery you may have grounds for a claim

Contact us

There are various instances where bowel surgery is necessary in order to treat certain medical conditions, such as bowel cancer, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Although some complications that arise from bowel surgery are unavoidable – and are not necessarily due to negligence – there may be multiple complications or a failure to identify and treat a complication which subsequently leads to a claim.

For example, bowel surgery may be required if part of the bowel becomes infected due to disease. The type of surgery performed will depend on the type of condition a patient has and the extent to which the bowel is affected.

There are varying types of bowel surgery, including a total colectomy which involves removal of the colon and rectum, a sigmoid colectomy which involves removal of the part of the colon closest to the rectum and anus, and a transverse colectomy which involves removal of the part of the colon that joins the left and right sides (the transverse colon).

There are risks associated with any surgery and complications may be unavoidable in bowel surgery.  Complications that may arise include leaking at the site of surgery, a perforation may occur or adhesions or a post-surgical hernia could develop.

These problems often require further surgery to rectify them, which can increase the risk of infection, require additional general anaesthesia or cause further complications. Injury to the bowel during surgery is not always a sign of negligent surgical practice; however, a failure to identify and rectify an injury caused during surgery may cause a delay in treatment which could lead to further complications.

Our team of Clinical Negligence legal specialists have many years of experience in bringing successful claims and will work with you to deliver a positive outcome for you and your family.
